The Kiss of Venus Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The kiss of Venus
Has got me on the go
She scored a bullseye
In the early morning glow
Early mornin' glow

[Verse 2]
Packed with illusions
Our world is turned around
This golden circle
Has a most harmonic sound
Harmonic sound

[Chorus]
And in the sunshine
When we stand alone
We came together
With our secrets blown
Our secrets blown

[Verse 3]
Now moving slowly
We circle through the square
Two passing planets in the sweet, sweet summer air
Sweet summer air

[Chorus]
And in the sunshine
When we stand alone
We came together
With our secrets blown
Our secrets blown

[Bridge]
Reflected mountains in a lake
Is this too much to take?
Asleep or wide awake?
And if the world begins to shake
Will something have to break?
We have to stay awake

[Verse 2]
Packed with illusions
Our world is turned around
This golden circle has a most harmonic sound
Harmonic sound

[Chorus]
And in the sunshine
When we stand alone
We came together with our secrets blown
Our secrets blown

[Harpsichord Solo]

[Verse 1]
The kiss of Venus
Has got me on the go
She scored a bullseye
In the early morning glow
Early morning glow

[Outro]
The kiss of Venus
Has got me on the go

I fight with myself sometimes. I did it recently. I had an afternoon, it was a lovely summer’s day last year, and the window was open and I was in the bedroom in London and I sat down and thought, ‘Oh yeah, I’ll have a noodle.’ So I was noodling on the guitar and I thought, ‘Oh, that’s quite good.’...

McCartney shared in a November 2020 piece for Rolling Stone:

I had a little book which was all about the constellations and the stars and the orbits of Venus. […] [John Martineau’s] The Kiss of Venus. And I just thought, ‘That’s a nice phrase.’ So I was actually just taking phrases out of the book,...
